As the Principal of People Transformation & Change, you’re the architect of our People strategy execution. You won't just manage projects; you’ll integrate the entire employee lifecycle—Recruitment, Operations, Business Partnering, and Development—into one seamless flow.
Your goal is to ensure our People Team scales as fast as our business, turning "scrappy" startup processes into a systematized global engine that supports our 3,000+ employees.
Key Responsibilities
Drive the Roadmap: Take end-to-end ownership of the People Transformation Roadmap, ensuring we hit every milestone from Q1 to Q4 on time and with impact.
Architect the Future: Facilitate workshops to map our current "As-Is" processes, identify bottlenecks, and design "To-Be" workflows that prioritize automation and data integrity.
Unblock Dependencies: Lead weekly transformation meetings with Talent Acquisition, PBP, and Ops Leads to keep everyone aligned and moving forward.
Champion Change: Create the communications, training, and "nudges" that help our managers and employees adopt new, smarter ways of working.
Engineered Quality: Implement governance frameworks that stop data silos from re-emerging, ensuring our systems speak to each other effortlessly.
Reporting & ROI: Define what success looks like through clear KPIs and provide regular progress updates to the CPO.
Qualifications
The Experience: 5-7 years in Management Consulting, People Operations, or Business Transformation. You’ve lived through the "chaos phase" of a high-growth fintech or global tech company.
Transformation Track Record: You’ve successfully led large-scale HR transformations across multiple regions (ideally Nigeria and the UK).
Process Mastery: You’re an expert in process redesign. If you have a Six Sigma or Lean certification, that’s a plus.
Influencing Power: You can guide C-suite stakeholders and lead cross-functional teams with diplomacy and authority, even without direct reporting lines.
